Well, Beemer do you put money in the collection plate at church? What for? To feed and clothe the hungry? I once did the accounting at church for a year gratis. That's not where most of your money goes. For this reason, I don't put as much as I should in the collection plate and find other ways of giving to charity. Sometimes I feel guilty when I refuse to give money to a drunk or destitute at the streets. Sometimes I give, sometimes I don't.
The two women that I spent money on, including the one I am with now are single mothers. I cannot refuse buying them clothing and groceries, especially when I am there. Rarely do I give flowers or jewelry. In my experience, American women give affection in return for that, but not FSU women. It's alright, because I do not expect any affection or anything else in return. I only expect honesty. When they ask for something and they lie to get it, that is a scam. I am not used to being scammed, especially by beautiful women. That probably leaves me wide open.
I would have rather worked out our diffeences with the woman from Zaporozhye. I didn't call her when I got back, but I did send her a lot of e-mails. She did not answer. I don't know if it was our differences, which I think were minor that she didn't answer or it was her intention to scam. Probably a little of both. It was her son's birthday and I sent him a small item. She e-mailed me to thank me and to tell me her mother was sick. No. I did not send her anything. Shortly afterwards she again did not answer my e-mails.
Shortly before my last trip, I thought I would e-mail her again to be one of my back-ups. The news of my going to Ukraine lit her up and again, I heard from her after seven months. One of the things she said was she needed money to start her own business as a private physician (She is a doctor, or so she says and it says in her profile, but I have a lot of doubts). I did not visit her. I did not give her anything. I got an e-mail from her after I got back regretting that I did not visit her. She said she and her son were waiting for me.
RB....after reading your post, it sounds like you have a good heart, not the place to be looking for a partner from a FSU country, these girls will use you and abuse you. I doubt giving money to church is same thing as giving a girl with child money for things. What I don't undersatand is after meeting with this girl from zaporozhye, it didn't seem to work out and you continued to write her @ what $6 per letter( each way)??? You even said she was at least partly a scam and you wrote her about possibly meeting again????? Of course she was happy to hear from you......she thought it was more RB money given to her.
"In my experience, American women give affection in return for that, but not FSU women"
Buddy, I have to strongly disagree with that.....these girls LOVE flowers. How many of these FSU girls have you met???
I don't think these girls have scammed you, just used you for their own benefit, seems your wallet is out even before you have got off the plane...these girls are smart, they know how to
make you melt like butter. I see nothing wrong with sending a little something to girl or her child but wait until there is a sound relationship going. Trying to 'buy' a girl will never work long term.
One thing that that this girl in Zaporozhye had is a computer and e-mail. I did not spend $6 a letter on her after I got back. I sent her pictures of me, my family, my apartment from Disneyland, Las Vegas. She does fit the classic TINTIN definition of a scammer. She has a flat screen TV, a computer, digital camera and she says she makes $200 a month as a physician. If I went to see her on my last trip, it would not have been to start a relationship. It would have been just to visit her, her kid and the professor I wrote to for a long time (But we decided we were not a match).
All girls love flowers and jewelry, especially FSU girls. I know that. What I meant is FSU girls do not show much affection in return for buying clothes and groceries, American women do. Sorry that wasn't clear.
I never asked or expect anything in return. If my current relationship falters, I am not going to say, hey where's this and where's that? I want my money back. How can I? I just hope that they are better off because they met me. If that's buying their relationship, then so be it.
RB, good you don't expect something from girls. As I told one of my friends that wanted to buy his girl many things, it sets a precedent with girls that any western guy will do the same thing. It becomes an expectation, for you maybe not but to next guy, yes. I am not one to be buying anything for girl other than flowers and dinner. We do go shopping but not to buy, just to see each others preferences in fashion. There have been times I am asked to buy something but I tell them I have to jhave a meaningful relationship first. One time a girl( my one shopper girl) asked me to go into dressing room to see how good a top looked on her, she asked me to buy it....I asked her, what am I going to get? as I softly felt the material!!!!!!
Question RB, if you did end up meeting with zaporozhye girl, would you have ended up buying her and her son gifts?
Sorry to the next guy. The dinner cost around $100 and would buy about three weeks worth of groceries. Wouldn't they be expecting that also from the next Western guy? I bought the clothes and groceries, but not the flower or dinner.
No, I wasn't planning to buy the Zaporozhye girl gifts. I would have given them a little cash for transportation to come see me and a little bit more.
From 5 years of experience, I would have to say that RWGLOBE and GLOBALLADIES are both mostly a scam. Even when I have met with women, they were pressured by the agent to meet with me. After meeting the women, it is very apparent they did not write most or any of the the letters. Perhaps they get a kickback for using their profile.
In my business experience in the Ukraine and personal experience in the Ukraine.... their isn't an honest person in this country. They have much different values than the civilized world. If you have and they do not.... and they can take from you by any means (lie, cheat, scam, steal).... that is a good honest days work for them.
You have to walk into any market in the Ukraine and you will find at least 1 armed guard and workers watching everyone.... every more you make. In damn market! They don't trust each other. So, US guys are an easy mark. Don't believe any of what the agents here have written.
I admit, I have a thing for EU women. I would say I am successful man and not bad looking. I am looking for a woman close to my age. But, they are only interested in scamming and continue living in sh!t. Just visit the Ukraine and rent a flat. Its like walking into a crack house. And the flat you rent online, most likely will not be the flat you get. And you will have no choice but to accept it.
I have given up trying. Meth-head women in the US and scammers overseas. What a world we live in ;-)
Being my native country, I was given the opportunity to go to the Philippines to marry someone in the last three months - twice. They were pretty too, but I am committed and I can only marry once. I see no reasons to change my mind now, but perhaps I might later on or my gf might later on.
My two failed marriages were Filipinas. Been there, done that. I married the worst of what was available. (Yes, I had my own faults.) I don't believe they were good representative of true Filipina women. There are scammers there, but probably a lot less than FSU. A lot less. While one must take into account where she is from, each woman should be judged as individuals.
RWGlobe now has women from the Philippines. That was not the case when I used them a year ago. I asked my friend, a Caucasian to come with me Ukraine because he said he needs a vacation. He refused and he said he will go to a resort in Philippines where he went to 20 years ago. He took a ferry from Olongapo City to an island not too far away. It was cheap because many people go there. There, you can rent your own hut for as little as $10 a night. He just wants to go scuba diving. Then, there are women you can hire all sorts of things for like doing your laundry, being your maid....
I have had a profile with globalladies for about two weeks and after initially creating a profile, I have never been able to log on again. Called the home office phone number in Canada and get an answer machine. No return call and no email. The fault I get when trying to sign in, from several different machines is, 404 system error

Anybody else had this same trouble with globalladies.com? Im getting about two a day letters and can't respond to any of them. I think this is a scam, or a very shitty customer service department.
You should be able to get to the website through a link in your email, shouldn't you? There, you can choose the "Contact Us" link. I once forgot my password and that's how I got it back. I am still a member with no money in their account. I am still getting letters.
I'm aware this thread is quite old, but I'll just tell you my recent experience of GlobalLadies.
I've been a member for a few years, but never bought any credits during this time. Of course I receive 2/3 "letters" per day from really beautiful ladies with studio photos (mostly)..IMHO the ones that post video clips are probably more genuine ones, as they are generally less attractive and seem more willing to show themselves in real life...of course this is by no means a certainty.
I was attracted by a lady's profile, i.e. Marina672, so I took the plunge, bought some credits, opened her letter and started a dialogue. The subsequent letters received gushed about how she was looking for a man just like me etc., while consistently repeating the same questions, despite my answering them in previous messages, e.g. Why did you divorce?...Meanwhile, I did a google "search by image" exercise and found Marina on a social networking site called Одноклассники or translated "Classmates."
I was really happy that I had found the lady, who had expressed such an interest in me, particularly because we could then communicate unhindered by GlobalLadies and such, and at no cost...
After one exchange of emails (I used Google Translate) it became very clear that she was NOT responsible for the messages sent to me via GlobalLadies and that she had absolutely no interest in me whatsoever.
So, there we have it...That's proof enough for me that GL is a total scam.
